a few years ago the u.s. conference of mayors took a look and they suggested that in the next 30 years we could see this huge jump in employment. it turns out they were too conservative in the number of jobs they estimated. they estimated about 750,000 jobs. it turns out there are a little over 2 million jobs in the grain sector, as counted -- in the green sector, as counted by the federal government. but the load is not there yet. from 2003-10 they have added 100,000 jobs. that is great, but not a lot by the time the solar industry and the wind in history -- when the industry have been booming. the promise of great jobs is out there and eventually will be there, but it will take longer than we think, partly because the energy boom is creating such a cheap energy, especially natural gas. there'll be less incentive for people to switch to solar power or wind power, etc. host: nancy joins us from kansas city, missouri, republicans line. caller: a lot of us baby boomers do not have savings enough to live on for
